d. a stretched bow string

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is stored in objects due to their height in a gravitational field. A slice of bread stores chemical energy, a compressed spring and stretched bow string store elastic potential energy, while an apple on a tree has energy from its height above the ground.
